Question

I’m using Backbone along with Mustache, how can I detect when a view is done rendering a mustache template? I want to apply the tipsy tooltip plugin after all the items are there but if I add this to render, it is called for ever since item in the collection/model?

Ideas? Thanks

Answer 1

Why don’t you put your tipsy code after the line that adds the Mustache template to the dom?

for example this is what I have in my navView:

$(this.el).html(Mustache.to_html(navTemplate, this.model.toJSON()));
$('body').prepend(this.el);
this.$('img').twipsy({trigger:'hover', placement:  'below', fallback:'test', offset:10});

It adds twipsy (the twitter bootstrap version of tipsy) after my nav has rendered and been added to the dom.
